Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you don't wanna feel it, all you have to do is wait
The pain will be inflicted in some other, eventual way
[Verse 2]
I made it home, too tired to cry
Loose quarters in a pile on the bedside
I'll never live to see the day
[Chorus]
I admit it, I am defeated
I couldn't get you out, couldn't beat it
Shame on me, I couldn't even see
I'm inside it after all
[Verse 3]
When things are bad between us, it is hard to face the day
When things are feeling easy, it is hard, in a different sort of way
[Verse 4]
I play it back, I say I'm free
Still, I wake up in another man's dream
I can't remember what it was supposed to mean
[Chorus]
I admit it, I am defeated
I couldn't get you out, I couldn't beat it
Shame on me, I couldn't even see
I'm inside it after all
[Verse 5]
So this is how it feels to be living inside of a dream
Trying to build a world between the things I say
And what you think they mean
[Verse 6]
Can we believe, can we break through?
Can we be brave enough to tell the whole truth
That I never should've given all that much to you?
[Outro]
I admit it, I am defeated
I couldn't get you out, couldn't beat it
Shame on me, I couldn't even see
I'm inside it after all
I say I'm free
I'm inside it after all
I say I'm free
I'm inside it after all
I say I'm free
